Type: Hostel

Loch Ossian Hostel is as remote as accommodation comes and can only be accessed by foot from the rail station. The hostel’s recent renovation has displayed a reverence toward its fragile natural surroundings and encompasses a host of ecological techniques. Grey water is filtered and reused, and a new dry toilet system ensures that water savings are made along with the creation of an additional composting method. A wind turbine powers enough electricity to meet the needs of the hostel. To protect the bat colony in the attic, water based paint has been used throughout. The hostel was formerly a boathouse and is now familiar among seasoned Munro-baggers.
